My name is Jan Vrsinsky and I am the founder of PanoSociety. I started with panoramic photography in 2003. I worked for companies such as Geewa, Disney and Illusion Softworks. I am an investor in a networking site for panoramic photographers 360cities.net. I've been commissioned for photoshoots in Mexico, Italy, South Africa, the Czech Republic, for example at Skoda Auto, KPMG, Unilever or FotoŠkoda. I enjoy it. I like to share my expertise and knowledge through the customer support on PanoSociety and helping customers before and after their purchase.
PanoSociety was initially called "How To Shoot 360" when it was founded in 2011 and has changed its name to Pano Society at the end of the year 2015 with the owner, business, obligations, warranties, operations and offers remaining the same.
PanoSociety helps you to shoot awesome panoramic photos, virtual tours and virtual reality content. Our goal is to help you to gain access to panoramic equipment including panoramic heads and software and to help you to understand it. We are an official Nodal Ninja (R) reseller.

We know it might be difficult to choose over the web, and we offer a voluntary 30 day return period for all customers for all Nodal Ninja / Fanotec items except the Mecha products, software, special sales, refurbished and used products.

REASON #5/10: WE SHARE THE BEST PRICES WITH OUR CUSTOMERS
The special prices on software for panoramic / VR photography are only offered to Pano Society customers who have purchased (or are purchasing in the same order) a panorama head, rotator, telescopic pole or a workshop in the last 6 months. You will receive your software license via email after payment - usually within minutes or in maximum 1-2 business days if something needs to be confirmed manually. No shipping needed. We are an official seller of all listed software, connected to the licensing system of the vendor. This guarantees you will receive your license as soon as possible, for the best price and for the latest actual version of the program.
REASON #6/10: WE ONLY SELL REAL PANORAMIC HEADS AND HARDWARE
In contrast to typical "panoramic heads" on the market today that simply rotate on a tripod we only sell tripod heads that were especially designed to take panorama photos and virtual reality content. This means you can always adjust them very precisely so that the optical system of your camera and lens rotates around the no-paralax-point (or NPP). This virtually eliminates parallax geometry error from the final image and thus allowing each photo taken for your panorama to overlap accurately with each other, without typical errors such as movement of closer objects on the background, visible photo stitching seams and disconnected lines and other artefacts. Eliminating all these errors saves a lot of time during post processing of your panoramas.
REASON #7/10: MARKET-PROVEN NODAL NINJA BRAND WITH LIFETIME WARRANTY
We are the official reseller of market-proven Nodal Ninja panorama heads (we are listed in Czech republic in reseller directory). The lifetime factory warranty applies to all Nodal Ninja products and accessories except Mecha, lenses, poles, knobs and consumables. Nodal Ninja brand is used by companies such as Adidas, Boeing, Disney, Google, KLM, Lockheed Martin, LA Times, Microsoft, NASA and hundreds of other major companies, including companies from the Fortune 500. Nodal Ninja panoramic heads have been on the market since 2004 and have gained a lot of awards. They feature high durability and precision, and perhaps that is the reason NASA chose them for shooting virtual tours of ISS or Google recommends them as a panoramic head for shooting photos of businesses for Google Maps (Google Business Photos). The Nodal Ninja brand is known for best customer service, help and advice, complete backward-compatible accessories and a great warranty and after-warranty service.
REASON #8/10: AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEED - WE ARE THE OFFICIAL RESELLER OF ALL OFFERED BRANDS
We are an official reseller of all brands of products and software and we have an reseller agreement and direct connection to manufacturers and we know most of them in person. Therefore we are able to resolve any problems that might come up quickly and we can arrange upgrades, etc. If you order software together with physical goods, we'll email you the license and the rest will arrive according to your selected shipping method.
REASON #9/10: WE ARE REAL NORMAL PEOPLE WHO LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY, DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP
We are not a web page only so meetings are possible and welcome! We are based in Prague, Czech Republic, visit us when you have a trip to this city! We'll be glad to show you anything before you order and we'll explain how it works. If you are just starting we will help you choose your panoramic photography equipment.

I've been involved in panoramic photography since 2003 and in 2008 I started taking 360º photos and virtual tours. I do commissioned commercial shoots as well as many photos for the joy of heart. I've taken virtual tours in luxury resorts in South Africa or for example in Skoda Auto car manufacturer's production line building. I've loved photography since childhood. I really love capturing the awesomeness and the beauty of the world around and sharing it with others. My dream and vision is that panoramic photos can be taken by anybody and with any equipment and that better tools help you to shoot better, faster and with less effort. I've been running a blog on panoramic photography called How To Shoot 360º since 2011 with guides, tutorials and news on panoramic photography. I also share many of my photos and articles on my personal blog. I also teach panoramic photography workshops and organize photowalks in Prague, record Google+ hangouts with photographers and I like to travel. You can read more about me on my personal blog's about page (slightly neglected these years).
